Please vote to support the the center where we volunteer

Hey all, if you have a moment and are inclined to do so, please vote for the Therapeutic riding center my wife and I volunteer for.

They do equine riding therapy for kids and adults with various physical and mental disabilities. It makes a huge difference in function and quality of life for some of the folks.
Operating expenses are a killer, and there is always a need for new equipment.

It's a great program.
One gentleman has CP so severe we had to design a custom saddle for him when he started.
He is now on a standard saddle, handles the reins himself, and even carried the flag during opening ceremonies at a horse show.
It's really quite inspiring, and is just one of many similar stories.

Thanks guys!
The place is amazing, and it's come a long way just in a couple years. It's making a big difference in people's lives, especially some of the kids.
My wife if at a conference today on our anniversary (!) testing for her instructor certification. (I'm just labor!)
